How to Bounce Golf Balls on Wedge Clubs

"AUSTIN MCBRIDE: Hi, I'm Austin McBride, here on behalf of Expert Village. Today, I'm going to show you how to get started with some trick shots. The first thing to know is, with your wedge in hand, hold it a little bit further down the grip, rather than up. The further down you hold it, the more control that you're going to have. I like to have it right at the very edge. I don't like to be touching too much metal, so it can have a little bit of shock absorption from the grip. And starting out position, lay the club flat, put the ball on the ground, let's go over here to the grass, actually. And what we will do is prepare by putting the club right up against the ball and our foot on the other side of the ball. Then we will slide it on with our foot and that really is the first step in doing some trick shots. If you are a little bit more advanced, you can certainly get the ball onto the club without using your foot. We'll talk a little bit more about that in perhaps another segment."
